See if you can pull anything substantive, accurate, reasonable, logical, thoughtful, or worthy from Brandt Dainow’s five pages of babble or drivel link bait article—Why iAds will fail—in iMediaConnection. I tried and could not. Samples:

Apple cannot sustain the iPhone as a purely U.S. phenomena. However, its share of the global smartphone marketplace is small. In Q1 2010, iPhone made up 15 percent of global smartphone sales, slightly less than BlackBerry’s 16 percent and much less than Nokia’s 48 percent.

Incredible babble. Or, remarkable drivel. Or, both. Stunning.
